96 Split Rock

Thoughtfully designed to balance timeless architecture with warm natural materials, 96 Split Rock is a mountain retreat created for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.

Nestled within The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, the home embraces its natural setting with inviting indoor outdoor spaces, refined craftsmanship, and a floor plan that feels both welcoming and enduring.

The mountains shape more than the view. They shape the way this home lives.

Set within Southridge at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, 96 Split Rock rests on a rare gently sloping 0.85 acre homesite, creating a natural arrival, generous outdoor living spaces, and sweeping long-range mountain views.

Just minutes from Asheville and bordering the Pisgah National Forest, Walnut Cove combines the privacy of a gated mountain community with one of the region's most celebrated golf and wellness clubs, creating a setting that feels connected to nature without feeling remote.

Some homes are built on the land. This one belongs to it.

From the moment you enter, your eye is drawn upward to soaring timber ceilings that create an unbroken view through the heart of the home before coming to rest on the layered Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance.

That view was never left to chance. A continuous vaulted ceiling begins at the front porch and extends through the great room to the outdoor living room, intentionally framing the mountains as the focal point from the moment you arrive.

The architecture does its job quietly, the mountains do the rest.

Designed for effortless daily living and exceptional entertaining, the main level unfolds around a central gathering space where the kitchen, dining area, and great room all share the same connection to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Private spaces remain quietly tucked away, while generous indoor and outdoor living areas make it easy to host a crowd one evening and enjoy a quiet morning the next.

An entire wall of folding glass disappears, transforming the great room and covered terrace into one seamless living space beneath soaring vaulted ceilings.

Whether gathered around the fire on a crisp autumn evening or enjoying fresh mountain air with the glass wall fully open, the transition between indoors and outdoors feels almost invisible. Every detail was designed to immerse you in the Blue Ridge landscape while surrounding you with the warmth and comfort of a timeless mountain lodge.

Where every season has a favorite seat.

Designed as a natural extension of the great room, the covered, screened porch offers the same soaring vaulted ceiling, warm natural materials, and uninterrupted connection to the mountains beyond.

A full wall of folding glass disappears, allowing indoor and outdoor living to become one continuous gathering space while the screened enclosure invites fresh mountain air without sacrificing comfort.

Centered around a wood-burning fireplace and generous seating, the porch is designed for crisp autumn evenings, summer dinners with friends, and quiet mornings overlooking the Blue Ridge. It is a place where every season invites you to stay a little longer.

Morning coffee. Evening fires. Every season in between.

Standing at the oversized island, the entire home unfolds before you. The great room, soaring stone fireplace, folding glass wall, covered outdoor living room, and layered Blue Ridge Mountains remain in view, creating a seamless connection between the kitchen and the spaces beyond.

Warm rift sawn white oak cabinetry, Taj Mahal quartzite, and expansive windows create a setting that feels both refined and inviting, allowing the architecture and surrounding landscape to take center stage.

Whether preparing a quiet breakfast or hosting a house full of guests, the kitchen keeps you at the heart of it all, connected to every conversation, every gathering, and every season unfolding beyond the glass.

The best seat in the house isn't at the table. It's at the island.

Just beyond the main kitchen, the prep kitchen serves as a beautifully organized coffee bar, beverage station, and entertaining hub, keeping everything needed for guests and everyday living within easy reach.

Morning coffee, afternoon refreshments, evening cocktails, and favorite serving pieces all have a dedicated place, allowing the main kitchen to remain open, uncluttered, and focused on gathering.

Finished with the same warm rift sawn white oak cabinetry and timeless materials, the space feels less like a utility room and more like a natural extension of the home.

The first cup of coffee and the last glass of wine deserve a place of their own.

Set on the main level and tucked away from the gathering spaces, the primary suite occupies its own quiet wing of the home. A coffered ceiling with wood beams gives the bedroom warmth and presence, and the Blue Ridge Mountains sit framed in the windows before your feet ever touch the ground.

The suite continues into a bath wrapped in soft natural stone, where a freestanding tub, a seated vanity, and warm brass details carry the calm through to the end of the day.

An oversized walk-in closet and the laundry room sit just steps away, keeping everything you need inside the wing.

Everything slows down on this side of the house.

Every element of the primary bath was selected to create a calm, restorative retreat. Warm natural materials, generous proportions, and timeless finishes come together in a space that feels quietly luxurious without excess.

Large-format stone surfaces, a curbless walk-in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub create an atmosphere that is both elegant and functional.

Connected directly to the dressing room and laundry, the suite is designed to simplify daily routines while providing a peaceful place to begin and end each day.

Where daily routines become moments of retreat.

The lower level was designed with the same intention as every space above it. A welcoming family room, built-in bar, glass wine gallery, fitness studio, guest suites, and covered outdoor living area create places that encourage conversation to linger and weekends to unfold at an easier pace.

Natural light, generous windows, and direct access to the outdoors ensure the lower level feels open, welcoming, and connected to the surrounding landscape.

The family room anchors the lower level with the same warmth and openness found throughout the home. Surrounded by the entertaining bar, wine gallery, game room, guest suites, and covered outdoor living area, it creates a natural place to gather between every destination.

Expansive windows fill the space with natural light while maintaining a strong connection to the landscape beyond.

Whether watching a movie, sharing a glass of wine, or simply settling in after the day, the room offers a comfortable place where people naturally return throughout the evening.

Good rooms bring people together. Great rooms make them stay.

Rather than separating the entertaining spaces, the bar helps bring them together. Positioned between the family room, game room, wine gallery, and covered outdoor living area, it naturally becomes part of the flow of the lower level.

A generous island offers a place to gather, while integrated refrigeration, a dishwasher, and a full service area make it just as practical as it is inviting.

Behind it, softly illuminated stone creates a warm backdrop that remains a focal point long after the sun goes down. The result is a space designed not only for serving drinks, but for extending the conversation well into the evening.

A favorite destination without ever leaving home.

Rather than assigning a single purpose, the wellness studio was designed to evolve with the people who live here.

Whether equipped as a private fitness space, a golf simulator, a yoga studio, or a combination of all three, the room offers the flexibility to support both recreation and well-being.

Located just steps from the family room and outdoor living area, it remains connected to the rhythm of the home while providing a dedicated space to move, practice, or simply reset.

The best investment is always in your well-being.

At 96 Split Rock, long-range mountain views come with something especially valuable: room to enjoy the land around you. The gently sloping 0.85-acre homesite is flatter than many mountain properties, allowing for a generous backyard that extends the living experience beyond the covered porches.

There is space for children and grandchildren to play, for a dog to stretch its legs, and for afternoons spent outdoors with family and friends. Thoughtful landscaping frames these spaces and complements the architecture, keeping the emphasis on a backyard that is as inviting to use as it is to look at.
